Their Side Or Mine? (Splatoon Fanfic)

Chapter 11 Fame or the Game?

We waited for Max to come out of the lobby he finally came out excited as ever. "I DID IT!" He yelled. "YOU DID IT!" I yelled back I ran forward with my arms wide and he picked me up and swirled me around. "YOU DID IT!!" We all yelled. He put me down, face red. I smiled brightly. "Congrats Max!" I squealed shaking his shoulders. It was night by now and we went toward our houses. We hopped on the train together before we split up and went homes. On the my stop Max stopped me. "Thanks for today, Aurelia. Even though I didn't get to play a ranked battle with you guys.. I'm glad I'm friends with you." He said. "Thanks Max.." The doors began to close. I quickly hopped out. "MEET YOU AT 8!" Max said before the doors closed. I waved goodbye and walked into the house.

I woke up at 6 eager to battle again. I put on my hoodie again since it was washed yesterday. I grabbed my same Red high tops, my Studio headphones and my phone. Before I left I dropped off a note for my mom.

I dashed out the door and hopped on the train. I rushed into the center only to be crowded by screaming fans. "You're the ravishing roller!?" A boy inkling yelled. "Sign my face!!" A girl inkling yelled. "Oh.. Excuse me I just wanted to wait for some friends.." I said. They separated and made an open pathway for me. I nervously walked through and came into the center. Max was waiting there. "Max!" I yelled waving. He looked over and waved back. I ran up to him. "Star and Scamander said they'd be coming in about an hour or so." He said. "Oh. Wanna go in the café?" I asked. "Sure. We walked in and my fans quietly shuffled forward behind us. We came inside and they completely blocked the windows. I noticed some and waved. 5 inklings suddenly fainted just by my wave. My eyes widened. A taller inkling with two male inklings following behind him came in. He walked over to our table. "You're the ravishing roller are you?" He said. "Yes I am.." I said. "Well you sure are ravishing, hot stuff." He said. My face turned red. "Excuse me?" Max interrupted, his face red too. "Calm down little man, I'm just talking to your older sister here." He said. "OLDER SISTER!?" He shrieked. He ripped off his glasses. "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK IM HER LITTLE BROTHER?! NO! IM HER FRIEND, SO BACK OFF BEFORE SOMETHING GOES DOWN!" He yelled. The kids outside started filming. I looked back and tried to shoo them off. "Max calm down!" I pleaded. The other inkling was much taller than Max and looked much more powerful too. "And what are you? Level 10?" He asked teasingly. "Yes I am actually!" Max retorted. "Guess what puny worm. I'm a level 23." He said. Max lost a little bit of confidence but still stood his ground. "Does this need to turn into a fight?! 23 or not I'll beat you into this concrete." Max said confidently. The fans outside started chanting "Fight, Fight, Fight!"

I put a hand on my head. Max delivered five strong punches to his chest. The guy didn't even flinch. I stood up from the chair. "Seriously..." "My turn." The guy said grinning. Max stumbled back a little. They guy pulled back his arm.. The kids outside gasped. I had grabbed his fist. "Enough please." I said looking at the both of them. The guy nodded and Max put on his glasses and sat down again. "Good." I said. "Now.. Where was I. I myself am a very famous splatter too, a very good shooter, they call me the Crimson Bullet." He said giving me a sly look. "Good for you?" I said confused. "Now.. I don't think a girl with that smart of a brain would turn this down.. So.. Ravishing Roller, would you like to meet me at the Cuttlefish Cavern?" He said holding out a hand. I looked at Max he was looking completely away. His entire face was super red. "On a date?" I asked. "Yes. At the best restaurant in Inkopolis." He said. I raised an eyebrow. "Who else has asked you?" He said. "Um nobody, but I'd rather focus on the game, 'scuse me I'd like to meet my friends." I said moving by him. His friends blocked the door. "Let me make a deal with you. We play a battle and if I win you go out with me, if you win you get to do whatever you want. Deal?" He asked. I wouldn't turn down a fight. "Deal." I said shaking his hand. Max's face turned super red. "But Aure-" "Shh! 'Ravishing Roller'" I whispered. "Oops.. Yeah, But Ravishing Roller what if you lose?" He asked. "Then I go out with him. But I don't plan on losing." I said confidently.

Max gulped and Crimson Bullet lead me to the battle dojo. "I hope you're ready. Just because you're beautiful doesn't mean I'll go easy on you." He said. "Enough with the flattery, buttering me up won't help your chances at winning. He seemed shocked and lost composure but quickly regained it. "A sassy beauty.. I like it." He said smirking. He tried to put an arm around which I quickly threw off. "Don't touch." I said purposely acting flirty. He smirked at me. My stomach rumbled in disgust. I felt like I would barf. Maybe if he stopped making those stupid faces I'd be fine going out with him. The battle started but something was off. Then I realized it. Some how his two buddies had gotten in. Maybe if I could pick them off i could have an easy battle. Whoever does twice first loses the match. If I could pick off those two twice they'd be gone and it would be Crimson Bullet and I. The battle started and I made a large confusing trail over the map making it hard to find out where I was. One of his buddies walked by and I sprung up and killed him. Crimson Bullet tried to shoot me down but with my trail he always missed. Another one of his buddies came by and I splatted him too. Taking my chances I ran closer to Crimson. "He smirked and tried to shoot me down but I was too fast. He tried shooting ahead but I dodged them all. Both of his buddies came charging for me. Causing me to retreat back to my complicated trail. They came by together so I splatted one but the other was alerted and almost splatted me before I had splatted him. With both of them gone now I used my burst bombs and threw them from behind the wall I was at. Crimson freaked out thinking I was nearby and started shooting everywhere my special powered up and I equipped the Inkzooka. Aiming straight at him I fired causing him to freak out but unable to dodge it. I smiled. One more kill. Confident I moved forward ready to spawn kill. Forgetting he had an aerospray, he shot a seeker and I freaked out and tried to run. I jumped over the seeker at the last second but couldn't escape his ink. He knocked the roller out of my hand with quick shots to my hands. "Buhbye roller." He said giving a final shot to my head after trapping me in purple ink. "UGH!" I yelled. I could hear the fans cheer for me but I could also hear his fans. Ignoring it all I ran forward full of frustration. "AAAARRRAAAGGH!" I yelled before swinging the roller down. I remember his scared face in the corner. But just as I splatted him I had been splatted too. The match ended and we came out. He came out red faced and embarrassed while I came out exhausted. "Aure- I mean Ravishing Roller you did it!" Max said beating the crowd up the ramps. "Max I.." I passed out in his arms.

I work up on a bunch of jackets and sweaters. "What the... Where am I?" Crimson was the first to show up. "Hey beautiful." He said smirking. Star pushed him aside. "Move aside flirt-face, she isn't for sale." Star said shoving him away. "Hey, what makes you think you can push me aside! I'm the Crimson-" Star slapped him hard across the face causing him to fall back. "Because I'm her friend, so walk away before I permanently shut your mouth." Star said threateningly. He and his friends laughed. "Yeah right." He said coming forward again. I stood up. "Lemme handle this Star." I said stepping forward. "Do you want me back now? I understand, I'm not easy to let go of." He said "I grabbed his shirt. "Wanna be hard to let go of? I can arrange that." I said tightly gripping his shirt. "If it means I can do this." He leaned forward and kissed me. Max came in hurling his fists towards him causing Scamander told him back "LEMME AT HIM!! LEMME BREAK HIS NECK!" Max shrieked. "Calm down!" Scamander said. I pushed him off. "So.. Wanna go on tha-" I delivered a sharp punch to his nose causing him to fall to the floor. "Let's go." I said. Pulling Star along. Her face was shocked and she stared at the dazed Crimson Bullet. Max repeatedly hissed and shouted obscenities at him while Scamander carried him away. We left the scene behind. There was probably a reason other than his accuracy for him to be named Crimson bullet. My fingers were splotched with his bright red blood.
Crimson blood.
